DXPR Drupal Blog

We had this discussion 4 years ago. Why bring it up again now? Because several big CodeCanyon projects are coming to Drupal soon and I think it will have an impact. One of them is Slider Revolution. Slider Revolution is an "All-purpose Slide Displaying Solution that allows for showing almost any kind of content with highly customizable transitions, effects and custom animations". With nearly 60.000 sales at 18 USD it's the second most popular Wordpress plugin on codecanyon. The number of sites using this module is much greater because hundreds of premium Wordpress themes ship with the slider built into the theme. 

To refresh our memories here are some quotes from 2011:

Yoast Drupal SEO Module: Tested and Reviewed

Yoast SEO is a household name in the WordPress community and as a premium drupal themes shop owner I was jealous of their favorite tool. Yoast SEO gained popularity because it didn't just make SEO finetuning possible in WP, it made it fun.  Important onpage SEO factors are pulled together in a container below the texteditor. Yoast SEO gives you feedback on basic metrics like keyword density and post length, but also more advanced feedback... It will tell you if you remembered to use your keywords in the meta description, and if the length of your page title is optimal for a nice click-through-rate in search results pages.

Welcome to the fifth redesign of sooperthemes.com!

What's new at Sooperthemes

The fifth major update to sooperthemes.com is the biggest update ever. It's a completely new site, unlike the previous sites which were built on top of the original alldrupalthemes.com (2007!)!

The new site comes with a big shift in focus. With Drupal 7 sites becoming more complex, and the upcoming Drupal 8 introducing new power and flexibility, but also complexity, we work hard to offer tools, services and products that allow everyone to profit form Drupal's flexibility without having to suffer the steep learning curve (alone). In addition to selling Drupal themes with turn-key demo sites we now offer more services:

It was very exciting for me to watch you all vote on the poll for the first free premium theme by sooperthemes.com The race was between HelloFolio and Touchpro and these 2 themes overtook eachother many times in the voting, until finally I had to close the poll on march 30th when TouchPro won with a difference of just one vote!

This means that TouchPro will be released on drupal.org as a contrib theme, and the other 2 themes will go on sale on sooperthemes.com. Follow development of TouchPro here: http://drupal.org/project/touchpro

Just posting it here as a heads up, the next generation of themes will not support IE6. Time to say goodbye to this legacy browser. _goodbye: ie6;

In the future IE6 will get a simplified version of the website, or maybe even a print stylesheet.

Working on the new Respondr theme, to be produced next week. It will be built on the awesome new Arctica+Tundra base themes.

New features that come with Respondr:

• Flexslider with swipe support
• Scroll to top link
• Flawless device agnostic user experience
• Tweet slider
• Flickr widget

Not sure how I'll implement the flickr integration for the footer block. If there isn't a specialty module available I'll just use Feeds module.
